(December 17, 2025) Mooresville, North Carolina—Wake & Water, an Eastern Region Centurion Boats dealer, recently hosted the Golden Reveal, a celebration unveiling the Centurion 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Ri265. Designed as a premium experience worthy of the milestone, the event welcomed nearly 150 guests for an evening that blended luxury, legacy, and innovation.
Held at their dealership in Mooresville, North Carolina, the Golden Reveal transformed the showroom into a red-carpet event complete with food, drinks, branded decor, and an up-close look at one of the most innovative boats in Centurion’s 50-year history.
“A boat of that stature and that price point deserves that type of presentation,” said Brandon Riggins, Owner of Wake & Water. “This wasn’t about a hard sell. It was about giving people the opportunity to experience what 50 years of Centurion innovation has led to.”
The Golden Reveal was intentionally planned as a gala-style event, allowing guests to explore the Ri265 at their own pace while reconnecting with the boating lifestyle during the off season. Rather than a traditional sales event, the focus was on highlighting Centurion’s evolution from its early waterski roots to its role as a pioneer and trendsetter in wake surfing.
“Fifty years is a major achievement for any brand,” Riggins added. “To stay relevant, to continue innovating, and to lead the evolution of water sports the way Centurion has, it’s pretty incredible to be part of that.”
The evening also featured strong industry support, including Roswell Marine, who showcased their products onsite, further enhancing the premium atmosphere of the night.
While sales were not the primary goal, the event proved impactful. Conversations sparked during the Golden Reveal led to 2 deals following the event, along with strong gear and apparel sales throughout the night.
Looking ahead, Wake & Water plans to make this style of experience a recurring tradition.
“This was our first Golden Reveal, and I definitely see this becoming a yearly event for us,” said Riggins. “The theme may change, and we may lean more into sales in the future, but the goal will always be the same, bringing people together, showcasing great products, and going all out.”
With the Golden Reveal, Wake & Water not only celebrated Centurion’s past 50 years but also set the stage for what’s next, continuing to elevate how Centurion boats are experienced, and remembered.
